Bought, Borrowed & Bagged [193]: I Was Away...

BB&B (Bought, Borrowed and Bagged) is a weekly meme, inspired my The Story Siren and Pop Culture Junkie, where we share with you the books that we have bought, borrowed or bagged (won or gifted) plus a recap of the previous week's reviews, upcoming reviews, on going events and book movie or television news. BB&B is an homage Barron's Books & Baubles from Karen Marie Moning's smash hit series, Fever.

Bought, Borrowed, & Bagged

I came home to this big pile of books from Thomas Nelson!

And that's a wine glass charm from Stacey Kennedy. Thanks lady!

I Was Away...

Hey guys! I'm sorry if I was MIA the entire week, I was in Chicago sightseeing and met up with family whom I haven't seen in over a decade! The trip was long overdue so when I found the time to visit, I jumped at the chance. I will definitely go back, my visit was too short and there's so much to see and foods to try! I like Nashville but it's nothing like the hustle and bustle of Chicago. I didn't realize how much I missed walking around a big city and now I want more!

I'm now back to regular programming, to those who stopped by the posts, THANK YOU! I will catch up and ensure that I will return the visits moving forward.

Very exciting haul of books, Braine. I'm especially excited about Bright Blaze of Magic and can't wait to hear your thoughts. I'm glad that your trip was a success too. I've never been to Chicago but I would love to visit. I like big cities too. :) Happy reading and have a lovely weekend!

I'm glad I went last week instead of this weekend! It would've been a bummer to not see the city because of the protest/riot! And yes, I love the city, it has an old world feel to it still. I can walk around all day just staring at the buildings and other eye candy

Storm Siren looks interesting. I'll keep an eye out for your thoughts. Hope you had a great time with your family, Chicago is a city I have always wanted to visit (I've only ever driven through or changed planes in it).

I'm an explorer so even if you throw me in the middle of a jungle (but only for an hour), I'll still find a way to enjoy it. Chicago is such a beautiful city and I hope you get the chance to see at least a part of it in person in the nearest future.

Okay, I need to look that up and it was windy! I checked the weather and though I'd be fine because the temps are similar to here. I didn't realize it'll be much colder because of the wind chill factor. Eep!

Yay! Glad to hear you had a fun trip. I've never been to Chicago but I have to admit, I'm more of a quite country person rather then a busy city atmosphere. Although, I've heard their pizza is completely different from what I grew up with in NYS.

I'm so happy you were able to go to Chicago to catch up with family, Braine! It's important to take the time to do things like that :) I'm glad to know there's a lot to do, as well as good food in Chicago, as I'm counting down to BEA :)Have a wonderful week ahead and enjoy your new books.Lexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews

A Wine Glass Charm? Never heard of that before. Nice haul! I have Bright Blaze of Magic pre-order, although I'll have to read the second book first before I can read that one.Sounds like you had a great trip to Chicago visiting your family! I prefer the smaller places, but there's something about to be said about a big city as well.

That's awesome you were able to visit Chicago and see family. I really want to go back. I went years ago but I was just off crutches with a fractured ankle, so all the walking was NOT good. haha Looks like you got home to some awesome books though!
